Reflexive pronouns (himself, herself, itself, oneself, yourself, yourselves, themselves) are expressed by ok/oks which is modified according to its function in the sentence; the idea of each other is expressed by od/ods, which again is modified according to its function:

  • Älöfofs okis ‘they used to love themselves
  • Älöfofs odis ‘they used to love each other
  • Ojelodom oki ‘he will defend himself
  • Ojelodoms odis ‘they will defend each other
  • Ekötof oki ‘she's cut herself
  • Ekötof ofi ‘she's cut her (that is, someone else)’
  • Iplidols odis ‘you had liked each other
  • Iplidols okis ‘you had liked yourselves
